Hey guys, I know you won't believe this, but I've renovated the map. Here's the link:

You'll notice a few differences with this one:

- All the inactive powers have been wiped off the Galaxy.

- Some planets and powers have been moved or edited slightly.

- Survaek has been compacted, as talking with Aspen has left me with the impression that Survaek's colonization pattern moves out slowly and focuses on terrraforming.

- As Isai is now only claimed by Survaek, it is marked a Survaek planet and has extended their territorial claim.

- The Crimson Nebula and Tashar Empire are included.

Now I need your help, because we have a lot of operational nations without map info, so please, tell me color and placement. We have a lot of colors now reopen for claim (you'll notice I took dark green), so grab your choice while you can.

Why does the Detech Judiciary cover more area than either Survaek or the Siridar Imperium?

It is true that Survaek expansion moves out slowly, but it still moves out. Survaek has more planets than the Detech, as does the Imperium.

However, if the case is that the Detech don't terraform and thus have an average less than 1.5 or so liveable planets per system, then it is understandable that they would cover greater area than Survaek. But more than the Siridar Imperium?

The Detech also occupy the gap between two stellar arms, where the distance between stars is extremely large. The Siridar Imperium, by contrast, is located in the middle of the galaxy where there are lots of stars. So essentially, the Detech own more empty space.
